The Regional
Corridor Preservation Committee, which now reports to the Regional Growth
Committee, has been meeting since April, 2002. It was established in order to deal more
effectively with corridor preservation issues affecting the region. The Committee is headed by Mayor Jerry
Stevenson of The
membership of the Corridor Preservation Committee is comprised of
representatives from the Regional Council (local elected officials), state
legislators, local professional planners, engineers and city attorneys, Utah
Department of Transportation, and Federal Highway Administration. Purpose The purpose
of the Regional Corridor Preservation Committee is to consider all major
transportation projects that are a part of the Region’s Long Range Transportation
Plan for which corridor preservation is recommended. The Committee functions as an advisory body
to the Regional Council and constituent local governments on issues dealing
with the preservation of corridors, which would accommodate transportation
facilities as far as 20 or 30 years in the future. The responsibilities of the Committee are,
but not limited to, the following: (1) Consider and evaluate specific
corridor preservation actions available to local governments and provide
advice on these actions relative to their practicability and risk level. (2) Evaluate specific problems or issues as
they arise and recommend certain courses of action. (3) Develop guidelines for evaluating
hardships cases, determining priorities, and recommend appropriate courses of
action. (4) Evaluate complaints on
property rights issues, and provide recommendations on how best to deal with
them. (5) Evaluate proposed
development projects on vacant land within, or affected by, the corridor, and
provide recommendations on appropriate courses of action to prevent or allow
appropriate development to take place.
(6) Coordinate with the Utah Department of Transportation in its
corridor preservation activities, and assist the UDOT’s Corridor Preservation
Advisory Council in implementing its goals.
(7) Provide advice to the Regional Council on priority corridors. (8) Facilitate the education of, or
information flow to, local governments relative to priority corridors,
corridor preservation techniques, and funding. (9) Facilitate cooperation of all corridor
preservation stakeholders (federal, state, local jurisdictions, private
sector and citizens). (10) Provide
guidance to corridor preservation plans/studies that may be prepared by the
Regional Council. Staff Contact: George Ramjoue |
